Finally figured this out. The 50MB size limit was one of the issues. My first issue was my server firewall was blocking port 8080 for some reason, which was the cause of the 404 error. Once I unblocked that port, I was able to deploy the .war only to receive an "exceeded file upload size" error. After editing the configuration file for tomcat to increase the upload size limit, I have FINALLY gotten geoserver deployed on my cPanel/WHM server.
If someone else happens to have the same issues, here was my solution. To unblock port 8080 on WHM's configserver firewall navigate to /etc/csf/csf.conf and edit the .conf file to include port 8080, then restart the firewall using some kind of SSH client (I used PuTTY) with the command csf -r To increase the file limit size for tomcat uploads, navigate to webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml and around line 55 you should see <max-file-size>52428800</max-file-size> and also <max-request-size>52428800</max-request-size>. Change 52428800 (which is about 50MB) to whatever size you want. I just added an extra zero making it about 500MB upload size. Hopefully this can help someone in the future. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Deploying-geoserver-war-on-Virtual-Server-with-WHM-cPanel-tp5212274p5213239.html Sent from the GeoServer - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
